 Fans are saying enough is enough after Zac Efron's virtual Earth Day appearance went viral for all the wrong reasons. His almost 50 million Instagram followers don't even seem to recognize him. There's no denying that Zac doesn't look the same as he did in his hairspray days. Does anyone look the same after 10 years? But his jaw and lips are now the focus of thousands of tweets making unflattering comparisons between his new face and the weekends in The Saviour Tears or Human Trek. Nobody knows why Zac looks so different now than he did before. Best guesses include those fans who recall how he broke his jaw in the past and might be recovering from reconstructive surgery. To me his face looks swollen, medication and necessary surgery can cause that. People need to chill out, reads one popular tweet. He broke his jaw and also aged over the last 10 years. Broke my jaw 2 years ago and still working on healing. The actor's new look has fans concerned about Zac's history with body dysmorphia. On his Nature documentary series Down to Earth, Zac shared his struggles while almost crying over a bowl of pasta saying, I went years without eating carbs. When I shot Baywatch, I didn't have a carb for 6 months. I almost lost my mind. You need this. I don't think I could do that. He spoke more on the topic in a recent Hot Ones interview. He was so hard, you've got things like water under your skin you're worrying about, making your 6th pack into a 4 pack. Like that. It's just not. It's just stupid. Hey guys it's Kara and welcome back to Before and After. In this video we're going to be breaking down Zac Efron's physical transformation over the years from Boy Next Door to Hollywood Hunk and also detail some of the changes he has made over the years to bulk up for Baywatch and even a stint in rehab which has allowed him to kick drugs and alcohol for good. We've dropped a few other videos in this series including a recent drop on Elliot Page. As always be sure to let us know who's next and I'll see you guys after the intro. Zac Efron was born in San Luis Obispo, California and later moved to Arroyo Grande, California. His father David Efron is an electrical engineer and power station and his mother Starla Baskett is an administrative assistant who works at the same power plant. Efron has a brother Dylan and had as he described a normal childhood in a middle class family. He began acting in the early 2000s with guest roles on several television series including Firefly, ER and The Guardian. In 2004 he began appearing as a recurring character in the first season of the WV series Summerland. For the show's second season which aired in 2005 he was promoted to the main cast. He also appeared in some films including the lifetime television film Miracle Run in 2004 for which he earned a young artist's nomination for his performance as one of two autistic twins. His big break came in 2006 when he was cast in High School Musical as the male lead Troy Bolton for the Disney Channel which gave us High School Musical 2 and 3 and the standalone film Hairspray which was actually filmed here in Toronto. During these years he was your typical boy next door with a legion of young female fans. Apparently on the set of Hairspray Amanda Bynes demanded the two hook up but Zac wanted none of it. It turns out Zac wanted to reject his teen idol image after the first High School Musical film. The second we finished the first one he told Men's Journal in 2016 of High School Musical. I was like 17 and I said guys you know this is not all what I want to do. Efron was unhappy that he had become a teen idol and was determined to shed that image after appearing in the first film of the hit franchise. I step back and look at myself and I still want to kick that guy sometimes. The 17 again actor continued like F that guy he's done some kind of cool things with some cool people. He did that one thing neighbors that was funny but I mean he's still just that effing kid from High School Musical. The 2010s brought us some more mature and refined Zac Efron. Following his Disney success Efron starred in the 2009 comedy 17 again. Efron's performance in 17 again earned him a teen choice award for choice comedy actor and proved to audiences that he was capable of being a leading man in a non-musical movie. After the success of 17 again Efron tried to make his way into the festival circuit by taking on more serious acting roles in a range of dramas. The 2012 film Paperboy first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Unfortunately the film turned out to be a critical and commercial flop or reportedly didn't even clear one million dollars at its opening. In 2012 Efron also doubled in animated films for the first time voicing a lead character in Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. The playful flick reportedly brought in an impressive 70 million dollars during its opening weekend alone. In 2013 Efron went to rehab for alcohol and drug addiction, something he has opened up about many times since. Shortly after his stint in rehab the actor told The Today Show in 2014 that he's in the best place he's ever been. I was drinking a lot way too much he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2014 reflecting on his time prior to entering rehab. It's never one specific thing I mean you're in your 20s single going through life in Hollywood you know everything is thrown at you. Efron also explained that battling and addiction is a never ending struggle. He told the publication he had also joined Alcoholics Anonymous and began seeking a therapist which changed his life. Efron made a comeback with the 2014 buddy comedy That Awkward Moments and it was during these years that he truly began to transform his parents. He portrayed the cocky fraternity president Teddy Sanders in the comedy Neighbors. Neighbors marked Efron's transformation from a wholesome teen idol to a mainstream superstar. Both critics and audiences more or less enjoyed the film and Efron's performance in it. With the star being in the best shape than ever before he couldn't resist showing off his chiseled abs and biceps on the 2014 MTV Movie Awards stage. It was for his role in Baywatch that he really bulked up while dropping his body fat percentage to just 5%. To get into the best shape of his life he trained for 5 or 6 days a week often twice a day mixing balance and agility, strength and endurance training plus swimming and sprinting and hiking. He was also in a super strict diet but the hard work paid off as the 5'9 actor was able to hold his own while doing scenes alongside The Rock. Most recently his appearance on a live stream had people speculating if he had gotten any work done to his face. Something the actor has denied. More recently he's been filming a travel show for Netflix and he's also got a YouTube channel where he goes to the gym with other actors and creators like the boys from Dude Perfect. What do you think about Zack's new look? Do you think he got any work done? Or are people not used to seeing this once upon a time pretty boy turn into a man over the years? Well, we think he looks great and is a strong role model for anyone who wants to turn their life around and get into killer shape.
